A Sport For Everyone!
Tee-ball is an all-inclusive team sport, that is very similar to baseball and softball and is the perfect game to introduce diamond sports to young children. Through a combination of simplified rules, no pitching, and a smaller playing diamond, kids can join in on the fun and feel a sense of achievement. On top of that, tee-ball builds essential skills for life, teaching kids the importance of teamwork, respect, kindness, confidence, friendships, communication, and having a positive attitude. Tee-ball strengthens motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and physical ability. But not only that, it also improves mental health, and enhances creativity and problem-solving!
To put it simply, tee-ball is the perfect activity for kids to let off some steam and have some fun!

What Is Tee-Ball?
Tee-ball is an inclusive team sport that is very similar to the game of baseball and is a game that is used to introduce young children to the game through its simplified and modified rules.
The major modifications include no pitching, hitting the ball off a “tee” of adjustable height, a time limit of one hour and playing on a diamond which is only two-thirds of the senior size.
